About

This is part of a serious attempt to make society work, but in this case it is intended as something which will benefit society as a whole by improving the lives of individuals. More important than any other factor is our interpersonal relationships — our love life.

Please look at the page about bipartite matching of people for romantic liaisons, which imagines a small group of eight heterosexual people, eight men and eight women, discussing the various matches which might be made between them. There are 24 different ways of matching up those people. Some are terrible. A few are good for some of the people but leave others with poor matches, and a very few leave everyone more or less satisfied. That is really the best solution, and as the number of candidates increases, the advantages of a fair compromise increases as well, so that in a medium to large city it is really no compromise at all.

Like all truly advanced technology, these solutions to social problems will involve a lot of math, but must not require users to have special knowledge or skills. Programmers are invited to help with the development of open source libraries for applied social mathematics.

Non-technical accounts of all these topics as well as accessible accounts of the underlying math are on the front pages of a network of associated websites.
